DESTINY IN BLOOM RUSTIC LUXE TABLE

We are giving Spring a big "welcome back, we have missed you" celebration! A springtime brunch with close friends will mark Spring's happy return. To set the mood, spring elements abound on the table.

Moving away from a pastel palette and traditional spring florals, this table pays homage to a softer side of Spring... invoking the natural elements and organic textures of the new season. By tucking a few rich details here and there, this tablescape takes on a rustic luxe look. The repeated theme is birds and nests and naturals...

See the rest of my tablescape at DESTINY IN BLOOM, an uplifting and inspiring e-zine. I was so honored they asked me to write an article for them.

As a bonus (I don't know if I can call it that!!!!!) you can see a picture of me! How I dislike having my picture taken! This may be the only time, folks!

I just popped over to the online magazine and read your article. It really is pretty and well written! Great job! I wish they would have sized your pictures like you do! I love to see every detail and with these "older" eyes I need the larger photos! =)

Beautifully done. I, too, wish the photos were larger. They don't enlarge when you click on them...or if they do, it's not much. I love blues and the bird nests are such a cute idea for guest gifts.Beckie

Another beautiful table, my friend. I enjoyed every element. Are the little nest placecard holdrs on a pedestal? How are they raised up? SO cute! There are not enough hours in the day right now. I am swamped, and stressed:):) XOXO, Pinky

It is lovely, Yvonne. I am tired of pastels, I have overdosed on them! Next week it will be something different.Wish those pics were larger, we need to see every beautiful detail!Thanks so much for linking up to Let's Dish tonight!

Hi Yvonne, I've been trying to comment but keep getting bumped off--so if several comments show up you will know why! Your table is beautiful and fresh. And your photo is gorgeous!!!!!
